The Chinese startup U Power stirs the EV battery swapping pot, deploying guided robotic vehicles for speed and efficiency.

The UOTTA system involves a single, modular battery that can be applied to both two-wheeled and light four-wheeled electric vehicles. Each swapping station can accommodate both kinds of vehicles. U Power explains that 2-wheelers take 1-2 modules and 4-wheelers take 4-8 modules.

“This indicates that the battery-swapping model genuinely enhances the efficiency of our customers’ vehicles, allowing customers to spend less time charging and more time travellingAs for how significant the time-saving is, the April 8 press release was rather thin on detail, but today’s press release, dated June 3, indicates that it was enough to satisfy at least one customer.

U Power doesn’t explain whether the reference point is an earlier iteration of its own technology or systems developed by its competitors, but it does suggest that the company has been paying attention to behind-the-curtain details.Considering that EV fast charging technology is already on the market, it’s fair to ask where battery swapping fits in.of under five minutes in the coming years. That’s most likely fast enough to satisfy the general public and many fleet managers as well.
